WRT proofing errors, I have a few questions for this book specifically (and for all books in general, if anyone knows):

- Are corrections based on the e-text alone useful, or only if checked against the paper source? I.e. is "this looks wrong" worth submitting?
- Are there particular books/stories in this collection that you would like help proofing?
- Do you have a preferred format for corrections to be submitted?

I'd prefer to just carry on going through this particular book myself, Bob. I'll get there in the end! If you find anything I've missed in the three novels that I've proofed so far, though, then please do let me know!

Both comparisons against paper versions and spotting simple typos are very valuable. One thing to be aware of with SH in particular is that there are minor differences between the British and American texts; I've taken the British text to be my "definitive" version.

I just started reading "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" and it seemed familiar. Using the Kindle search feature, I found that it shares several pages in common with "The Resident Patient." Is this correct?

I've read the whole thing through myself, and there doesn't seem to be any "break" in the story, indicating that something might be misplaced. I've not yet checked this story against a printed version, though, I'm afraid.

Harry, if you have free time, it might be nice to add a notes section to the ebook including:

- a mention of the duplicated text
- Sparrow's link
- a link to this thread so people remember where they got the book (took me a few minutes)
- the version number so folks know when there is a newer one
- maybe some credits: you, the scanner, etc.

Proofed and corrected "The Valley of Fear". This was in a reasonable state, with only a few minor typos. The main thing I've done is restored the original British Edition text (it was previously the American version).

I grew up LOVING Sherlock Holmes, and would love to read the books again on my ebook reader. Would you be willing to save your file in the .mobi format as well? There's no way to convert from the .lrf format to the .mobi without losing all of the hard work you've put in to make it great, but it should work from your raw source file...
